Mail Forwarding of American Products for International Delivery - Best tracking with DHL, Great technology, great customer service, great prices. This is who I use now.

MyUS - US Mail Forwarding, Worldwide Shipping - largest of the group, great prices, but some hidden fees, poor response time.

http://www.usa2me - ok technology, good customer service, high prices with additional fuel added when you ship

Mail Forwarding and US Address Solution from US Global Mail, International Mail Forwarding - older technology/website, good customer service, high prices

Thanks heaps man. Ill look into it..

1. Warranty won't be a issue with a direct bolt on intake. If your that crazy you can just remove it before it goes in for a service. If your willing to change the cats, I don't why you would worry about intakes.

2. There would only be a couple of HP in it for the k&n filter or maybe none. Maybe it's not worth doing unless you wanna save coin in the long run and re-use the filter.

3. It's for headers.

Hey, nah it's easier for Nissan to deny a warranty claim if the intakes (affecting air cleanliness etc going into the engine) are installed. I know they probably function better than stock but it's just easier than cats and exhaust which are only pipes leading out of the engine ie little to no effect on the engines internals... just my 2 cents lol

All bongo'd and ready for purchases!!!

Much relieved!!! :)

Dont want to be a stick in the mud, but it appears you will go to town on the car.

Have you considered warranty issues cos the minute you drive into a Nissan service department and you have a mechanical issue they will wash your hands and try and deny your claim....

Have you considered waiting a bit and then going down the heavy mods path....

Hey majestik

What were you quoted for your freight cost to Australia by Bongous if you dont mind asking.

I just paid US$374.00 to ship the four Nismo Rims total 120lbs by economy air freight via Fedex. A large number but lower than that was quoted at Bongous ($569) and CEVA Air ($600 odd).

Awesome shopping list!

Make sure you wait till everything has arrived at Bongo and they will consolidate it into one large package/pallet which will work out well. You'll have to pay inport duty at customs but that's unavoidable. Other companies are cheaper for individual items, but for bulk orders like this it'll work in your favour.

You may as well chuck in a set of rims!

Don't bongo do the customs duty crap paper work???

If you're gonna buy a set of wheels you might as well send it to my Bongo addy for bulk shipping.

GTRFAN 04-04-2010 03:00 AM

Yeah they take care of all paperwork

boardingnath 04-04-2010 05:44 AM

Brilliant list. Congratulations!!

Can't wait to see and hear about them when you get them!

Great list in for the photos of the build, how about we call it the CF journal.
